  • Reduction of posts to sell items

    I have noticed that you need 100 posts to sell on here and I understand the rules. I'm asking if that can be re looked at because I have an item to sell but I don't want to go and post whore 98 posts after this. Thanks.

    I think 50 posts would be fair. 100 does seem extreme, but I wouldn't go lower than 30.

      That is something that has been considered over the years, but will not be happening any time soon.
      These rules are here for the protection of all of our users; both buyers and sellers. We have implemented these rules as a response to shady characters in the past.

      P.S. trying to sell things in your signature is a no-no

        We decided on 100 posts for a reason, so it will be staying that way moving forward. It wasn't meant to inconvenience people, but was a way to help protect people after some previous members were ripped off.

        As born2ski said, you can't put your ad in your signature to skirt the rules. I've removed your signature.

              NO 100 is still too high. Really, we are not children here. Every ADULT knows it's buyer beware. Yes I have stock items and aftermarket items I want to buy and to sell, so this is important to me. Stop catering to idiots that need to be told that the grass is green.

                Sorry, but there are actually children on this forum. Both as buyers, and sellers. Whether by age, or by mentality. We cater to those "idiots", our members, to protect our ownn. We protect our own here. There were incidents on this board where something just over half a dozen members on here fell victim to a scammer. After those and other issues we added this rule. Any attempts to circumvent it is considered violating board rules as well. 100 posts confirms the user is a contributing member of the forum, not just that they aren't a spammer.

                  Yeah I love the fact he's only here to sell his stuff and more than likely leave. Funny thing is he's bitching on the other forum about the same requirements. eBay / Craigslist must be a new concept?

                    Wow.. is it too much to ask for a member to ACTUALLY be a member!? I don't think anyone of the more "senior" members here wants to listen to anyone complain about a rule that ALL members agreed to. Check the rules, check your ego.

                      I too think the 100 post rule for selling is somewhat high, but I have stuff to sell and am willing to put the work in to get there.

                        While I understand the reason for the 100 post rule, it's going to take me forever to get there, since this forum is not as active as a lot of the other forums that I haunt. (Heck... even the Fiero forum has a bunch more traffic. )
                        With that said, I would like to see it changed in regards to people looking to buy things, as opposed to selling things.
                        But that doesn't even matter any more. I found what I needed elsewhere.
